Consider the following statements-
1. The world’s current growth rate is about 1.3 per cent, representing a doubling time of 54 years.
2. We can expect the world’s population of approximately 6 billion to become 12 billion by 2054 if the current rate of growth continues. The world’s growth rate peaked in the 1960s at 2% and a doubling time of 35 years.
3. The world’s average annual growth of population now is about 1.3 per cent.
4. Even though it appears small, in real terms this increases the population numbers rapidly.
5. This growth rate is again uneven the world over.
